HLN launches its newest daily news program, On the Story with Erica Hill, anchored by the award-winning, veteran journalist, on Monday, October 10. Hill’s program will air in the 1pm-3pm, ET slot, live from the CNN New York bureau.

Hill first joined CNN and HLN in 2003, as an anchor and technology correspondent. In 2005, she was named co-anchor of Prime News, as part of the network’s launch of Headline Prime. During that time, she also anchored nightly news updates for CNN’s prime time shows, including Anderson Cooper 360° (AC360°). In early 2008, she moved to AC360 full time.

She was part of the NBC News team that won a 2013 Peabody Award for the network’s cross-platform effort, “In Plain Sight: Poverty in America”; in 2015, the Alliance for Women in Media honored her with the Gracie Award for Outstanding Correspondent.
